The esxpress gui is being used, make your changes there
You are using ESXpress and try to change the configuration from the console using ‘phd’.
This error pops up trying to save the configuration: “The esxpress gui is being used, make your changes there”.
The ESXpress software thinks it is controlled by the virtual phd appliance.
If you are not using that anymore, this can be disabled in the configuration on the host:
/etc/phd/esxpress.cfg
Change to ‘no’
